Wray says the IC agrees Russia is trying to influence the election through malign foreign influence--social media, use of proxies, state media, online journals, to sow divisiveness and denigrate as Biden. The targeting of election infrastructure, "we have not seen" yet.
"We are the demon chasers" was the coined theme to kick off the movement.
Now, what this "commitment" is, one can only assume it has to do with John Conyers, Jr., for the simple fact that not one person mentioned his name in speaking upon Voting Rights.
Executing such a daunting task of not saying his name, may be what is the commitment.
Reverend Charles Williams III of Al Sharpton's National Action Network was the first speaker, so his silence should tell you something.
"No justice, no peace" was the mantra throughout the event as they referenced the Civil Rights leaders of yore, and mystically did not once, ever, say my Sweetie's name.
"So, let's march on in the name of our ancestors" was the call to action of Kamala Harris, even though she failed to give any attribution to the legacy of the man who championed Voting Rights.
Adria-Joi Watkins poses with her second cousin Jacob Blake. In this September 2019 selfie photo taken in Evanston, Ill., Adria-Joi Watkins poses with her second cousin Jacob Blake. He is recovering from being shot multiple times by Kenosha police on Aug. 23.
When Jacob Blake’s father talked with his son Sunday morning, the younger Blake was gearing up for a day of celebrating his son’s eighth birthday.
That evening, the father got word that his son had been shot eight times by police officers in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Eighteen minutes later, he saw the now-viral video, he said.
“What justified all those shots?” his father said. “What justified doing that in front of my grandsons? What are we doing?”
Some witnesses say Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man who attended middle and high school in Evanston, was simply trying to break up a fight Sunday evening. The cellphone video of the incident shows Blake walking around and opening up his car door before appearing to be shot in the back by police.
Eight holes
His father said there are now “eight holes” in his son’s body, and he’s paralyzed from the waist down. Doctors don’t yet know if the injury is permanent.
The elder Blake made the drive from Charlotte, North Carolina, to be with his son in the hospital Tuesday.
“I want to put my hand on my son’s cheek and kiss him on his forehead, and then I’ll be OK,” his father said. “I’ll kiss him with my mask. The first thing I want to do is touch my son.”
He called the incident “attempted murder” and said “those two officers shot eight shots inside my baby’s back.”
“At first, it catches you off guard and you become over-the-top emotional,” his father said. “Then you get to the point where you go from emotional to mad. Your child is not in danger of dying, but they took him to the edge.”
Jacob Blake’s fiancee and six children are “getting showered with love,” his uncle Justin Blake said, and the family hopes to get both the children and his fiancee into therapy concerning the shooting.
He’s been living in Kenosha for about three years, his father said, and is the father of six children between ages 3 and 13. Family is “definitely” important to the younger Blake, who has seven brothers and five sisters, according to his father.
“If you were in need of something and my son had it, he would not hesitate to give it to you,” his father said. “He’s a very giving individual.”
The elder Jacob Blake keeps a book on his nightstand that his son made and dedicated to him in third grade. “He’s very sincere,” his father said.
Family’s Evanston, civil rights ties
Musician L. Stanley Davis has been friends with the Blake family since 1971. The Rev. Jacob Blake Sr., the grandfather of the Jacob Blake whom police shot in Kenosha, was the “father that I never really had,” said Davis, 68, of Woodlawn.
The minister was an activist for affordable housing in Evanston and pastored the Ebenezer African Methodist Episcopal Church from 1967 to 1976, said the Rev. Deborah Scott, who currently leads the church.
In 1968, the Rev. Blake helped to organize a march in support of fair housing after Martin Luther King Jr’s death, according to the Evanston History Center. Four years later, he led his church in building the Ebenezer Primm Towers, which provide affordable housing for seniors. In 2003, Jacob Blake Manor, which also provides low-income housing for seniors, was named after the minister.

Much of what Evanston’s Black community benefits from today can be traced back to the Rev. Jacob Blake, Davis said. The pastor employed Black students at Northwestern University in the church and offered up space to house the Northwestern Community Ensemble, a gospel choir Davis founded in 1971, Davis said. Seeing a lack of Black teachers at Evanston Township High School, the Rev. Jacob Blake urged the district to diversify its teaching staff.
“Forget the glass ceiling — he knocked the door down,” said Davis, 68, of Woodlawn, of the Rev. Jacob Blake. “He turned a couple tables over in Evanston.”
Justin Blake also attended ETHS and now lives in the Park Manor neighborhood. He founded Black Underground Recycling in neighboring Englewood to provide income to the Black community and run a community center.
Justin Blake said his nephew would visit and help serve food to thousands of Chicagoans on the South and West sides.
“Him being a Blake, you don’t have an option to say, ‘No, I don’t feel good today,’” his uncle said. “You go out and build the community. You have no choice but to do something positive in your community.”
Protests erupted Sunday after the shooting of the 29-year-old Blake, with cars set on fire and windows smashed out. Monday night, peaceful protesters marched through the city streets, denouncing police abuse, but the incidents again turned violent after dark. Kenosha residents were waking up Tuesday to desolate streets with burned out buildings.
Children in back of SUV
Blake’s partner, Laquisha Booker, told NBC’s Milwaukee affiliate, WTMJ-TV, that the couple’s three children were in the back seat of the SUV when police shot him. “That man just literally grabbed him by his shirt and looked the other way and was just shooting him. With the kids in the back screaming. Screaming,” Booker said.
“They start to wrestle,” said another witness at the scene, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “The officer is punching on him. Two officers come to assist. They get him down on the curb behind his vehicle. Somehow he manages to get up. They said he has a knife. All of the officers pull out their guns. ... (One of the officers) tells him, ‘Get out of the car!’ and he starts shooting.”
The witness said he never saw a knife.
Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers said Monday that he has seen no information to suggest Blake had a knife or other weapon, but that the case is still being investigated.
The police officers who shot Jacob Blake were “the flint as well as the gasoline” sparking the violence in Kenosha, his father said.
“Those police officers that shot my son like a dog in the street are responsible for everything that has happened in the city of Kenosha,” his father said. “My son is not responsible for it. My son didn’t have a weapon. He didn’t have a gun.”

It seems the DNC staffers have quickly assimilated to the concept of a Ghetto Ass event.
That means we are in Detroit.
Sit back, and relax to the civil rights sounds of Motown, because we are going to have a star studded #coloredrevolution performance by the most vile creatures.
There shall be balloons, clowns and spooks because Kamala invoked the name of Beau Biden, yet failed to introduce the Beau Biden Foundation and its operations of trafficking tiny humans.
This also means Kamala is going to have to talk about the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, and Foster Care, and Adoption, and international money laundering schemes in modern day tiny humans trafficking, and Catholic Charities, and the Archdiocese of Detroit, because Wilmington Trust came from under Beau Biden's wings of heavenly oversight and was a creditor to the fake ass Detroit Bankruptcy, where the Detroit Land Bank Authority was, too!
Notice how I did not mention Hunter Biden because he sits on the Board of Directors.

What a great opportunity for the world to learn the history of Detroit, and not that resegregation crap that is being promulgated through our institutions of learning.
Maybe that is the reason no one can figure out what the Mueller investigation is all about.
This is absolutely amazing that I have been filled with awe in the ability of these Members of Congress, to stand on the House Floor, to so seductively distract the public in the fact that they, themselves, are all co-conspirators in the bleachbitting of history in the removal from office, the longest serving U.S. Congressman, who championed civil rights as his legacy, whilst denying him the civil right of due process.
Watch these people demonize history in their acts of sedition, as they advocate the end of racism, as they contemporaneously, and miraculously, omit , the name of the Chairman Emeritus of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee from the annals of history.
These are all vile creatures, for they know, that they know, that the heavens shall fall, in their acts of treachery.
If they are going to remove statutes of Judiciary, then, I suggest the opinions generated by these persons also be removed as case precedent, too.
To direct the Architect of the Capitol to replace the bust of Roger Brooke Taney in the Old Supreme Court Chamber of the United States Capitol with a bust of Thurgood Marshall to be obtained by the Joint Committee on the Library and to remove certain statues from areas of the United States Capitol which are accessible to the public, to remove all statues of individuals who voluntarily served the Confederate States of America from display in the United States Capitol, and for other purposes.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
July 13, 2020
Mr. Hoyer (for himself, Ms. Lee of California, Mr. Clyburn, Ms. Bass, Mr. Thompson of Mississippi, and Mr. Butterfield) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on House Administration
A BILL
To direct the Architect of the Capitol to replace the bust of Roger Brooke Taney in the Old Supreme Court Chamber of the United States Capitol with a bust of Thurgood Marshall to be obtained by the Joint Committee on the Library and to remove certain statues from areas of the United States Capitol which are accessible to the public, to remove all statues of individuals who voluntarily served the Confederate States of America from display in the United States Capitol, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. REPLACEMENT OF BUST OF ROGER BROOKE TANEY WITH BUST OF THURGOOD MARSHALL.
(a) Findings.—Congress finds the following:
(1) While sitting in the United States Capitol, the Supreme Court issued the infamous Dred Scott v. Sandford decision on March 6, 1857. Written by Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney, whose bust sits inside the entrance to the Old Supreme Court Chamber in the United States Capitol, this opinion declared that African Americans were not citizens of the United States and could not sue in Federal courts. This decision further declared that Congress did not have the authority to prohibit slavery in the territories.
(2) Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney’s authorship of Dred Scott v. Sandford, the effects of which would only be overturned years later by the ratification of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, renders a bust of his likeness unsuitable for the honor of display to the many visitors to the United States Capitol.
(3) As Frederick Douglass said of this decision in May 1857, “This infamous decision of the Slaveholding wing of the Supreme Court maintains that slaves are within the contemplation of the Constitution of the United States, property; that slaves are property in the same sense that horses, sheep, and swine are property; that the old doctrine that slavery is a creature of local law is false; that the right of the slaveholder to his slave does not depend upon the local law, but is secured wherever the Constitution of the United States extends; that Congress has no right to prohibit slavery anywhere; that slavery may go in safety anywhere under the star-spangled banner; that colored persons of African descent have no rights that white men are bound to respect; that colored men of African descent are not and cannot be citizens of the United States.”.
(4) While the removal of Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney’s bust from the United States Capitol does not relieve the Congress of the historical wrongs it committed to protect the institution of slavery, it expresses Congress’s recognition of one of the most notorious wrongs to have ever taken place in one of its rooms, that of Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney’s Dred Scott v. Sandford decision.
(b) Removal Of Bust Of Roger Brooke Taney.—Not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Architect of the Capitol shall remove the bust of Roger Brooke Taney in the Old Supreme Court Chamber of the United States Capitol.
(c) Replacement With Bust Of Thurgood Marshall.—
(1) OBTAINING BUST.—Not later than 2 years after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Joint Committee on the Library shall enter into an agreement to obtain a bust of Thurgood Marshall, under such terms and conditions as the Joint Committee considers appropriate consistent with applicable law.
(2) PLACEMENT.—The Joint Committee on the Library shall place the bust obtained under paragraph (1) in the location in the Old Supreme Court Chamber of the United States Capitol where the bust of Roger Brooke Taney was located prior to removal by the Architect of the Capitol under subsection (b).
SEC. 2. REMOVAL OF CERTAIN STATUES.
(a) Removal.—Not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Architect of the Capitol shall remove the statue of Charles Brantley Aycock, the statute of John Caldwell Calhoun, and the statue of James Paul Clarke from any area of the United States Capitol which is accessible to the public.
(b) Storage Of Statues.—The Architect of the Capitol shall keep any statue removed under subsection (a) in storage until the Architect and the State which provided the statue arrange for the return of the statue to the State.
SEC. 3. REQUIREMENTS AND REMOVAL PROCEDURES FOR STATUES IN NATIONAL STATUARY HALL.
(a) Requirements.—Section 1814 of the Revised Statutes (2 U.S.C. 2131) is amended by inserting “(other than persons who served as an officer or voluntarily with the Confederate States of America or of the military forces or government of a State while the State was in rebellion against the United States)” after “military services”.
(b) Statue Removal Procedures.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—The Architect of the Capitol shall—
(A) identify all statues on display in the United States Capitol that do not meet the requirements of section 1814 of the Revised Statutes (2 U.S.C. 2131), as amended by subsection (a); and
(B) subject to the approval of the Joint Committee of Congress on the Library, arrange for the removal of each such statue from the Capitol by not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act.
(2) REMOVAL AND RETURN OF STATUES.—
(A) IN GENERAL.—Subject to subparagraph (C), the Architect of the Capitol shall arrange to transfer and deliver any statue that is removed under this subsection to the Smithsonian Institution.
(B) STORAGE OR DISPLAY OF STATUES.—The Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution shall follow the policies and procedures of the Smithsonian Institution, as in effect on the day before the date of enactment of this Act, regarding the storage and display of any statue transferred under subparagraph (A).
(C) STATE REQUESTS.—A statue provided for display by a State that is removed under this subsection shall be returned to the State, and the ownership of the statue transferred to the State, if the State so requests and agrees to pay any costs related to the transportation of the statue to the State.
(3) REPLACEMENT OF STATUES.—A State that has a statue removed under this subsection shall be able to replace such statue in accordance with the requirements and procedures of section 1814 of the Revised Statutes (2 U.S.C. 2131) and section 311 of the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2001 (2 U.S.C. 2132).
(4) AUTHORIZATION AND APPROPRIATIONS.—
(A) IN GENERAL.—There are appropriated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, $5,000,000 to carry out this section, including the costs related to the removal, transfer, security, storage, and display of the statues described in paragraph (1)(A), of which—
(i) $2,000,000 shall be made available to the Architect of the Capitol; and
(ii) $3,000,000 shall be made available to the Smithsonian Institution.

SEC. 4. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.
In addition to the amounts appropriated under section 3(b)(4), there are authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out this Act, and any amounts so appropriated shall remain available until expended.
NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) - A passion for life and civil rights drove C.T Vivian.
Vivian died Friday, but his legacy won't soon be forgotten.
In 1960, he came to Nashville in the middle of the downtown sit-ins where blacks were refused service at lunch counters and even met with violence.
“We stood up to it because it was evil, I don’t mean it was bad it was evil.” Vivian said.
Vivian stood at the courthouse next to then-Nashville Mayor Ben West. One Fisk student, Diane Nash, proceeded to ask Mayor West how he could support such discrimination.
He could not!
Shortly after the restaurants opened to all, Vivian pushed intensely for equal rights for the remainder of his life.
His efforts earned him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the countries highest civilian honor, from President Obama.
The only regret Vivian had was not starting the fight sooner.
“The only thing we did wrong was stay in the wilderness a day too long," he said.
